Virtual Crypto Technologies (OTCQB: VRCP), through wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary Virtual Crypto Technologies Ltd., has launched NetoBit Cash. The tablet device enables video game suppliers and other businesses to securely buy, sell or convert bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in real time. A recent article discussing the company reads: “NetoBit Cash enables gaming suppliers to meet that challenge, permitting users to buy or sell cryptocurrencies quickly, shortening the confirmation and validation timeframe to just seconds, as compared to today’s 20-minute to 24-hour range. This faster execution lowers the risk of fraud while reducing the complexity of the online purchase experience. … The product also searches several crypto exchanges simultaneously for the lowest exchange rate and commission offered, rather than just the customary one. VRCP’s algorithms can locate the ‘best deal’ combination of coin rate and commission at the time of purchase (the most attractive balance of coin rate and commission). This feature, plus confirmation speed, enables the company to offer a guarantee against currency volatility during the trade/exchange approval process of up to $3,000 per trade.”

Virtual Crypto Technologies Inc., through its wholly owned Israeli subsidiary Virtual Crypto Technologies Ltd., has developed the NetoBitTrader, a proprietary, cryptographic algorithmic technology that it is able to confirm in real-time the purchase or sale of virtually any cryptocurrency. Virtual Crypto’s NetoBit products dramatically improve the cryptocurrency trading experience with faster execution and lower costs. Setting a new time-to-transaction standard, trading in seconds rather the industry norm of 20 minutes, allows NetoBit customers to enjoy the best crypto-exchange rate at the point of transaction. The company is marketing its NetoBit Trader software and hardware products for the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies through ATMs, tablets, PCs and mobile devices. Virtual Crypto Technologies further believes that the ability to immediately confirm cryptocurrency transactions in real-time provides a significant competitive advantage in making the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies user friendly.

BEIJING — Premier Li Keqiang said Thursday that China welcomes German companies during a visit by Chancellor Angela Merkel that gives Beijing an opportunity to try to recruit an ally in its trade feud with U.S. President Donald Trump. Both China and Germany are embroiled in disputes with Washington, though German officials say Merkel is committed to trans-Atlantic ties and isn't looking for new alliances. Li, China's No. 2 leader, and Merkel also expressed support for the Iran nuclear deal rejected by Trump and for the global trading system that free trade advocates worry is being challenged by his embrace...

BEIJING — China, Japan and the European Union condemned Thursday the Trump administration's decision to launch an investigation into whether tariffs are needed on imports of vehicles and automotive parts into the United States. President Donald Trump invoked a provision authorizing the president to restrict imports and impose unlimited tariffs on national security grounds. The move is seen as an effort to gain a bargaining chip in stalled talks with Canada and Mexico over the North American Free Trade Agreement. Mexico is the top exporter of passenger vehicles and light trucks to the U.S followed by Japan, Canada, Germany and...

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesian ride-hailing app Go-Jek will expand into Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and the Philippines in the next few months, it said Thursday, stepping up competition with rival Grab for Southeast Asian customers. Go-Jek, which currently only operates in Indonesia, said it will spend $500 million on the regional expansion. It's potentially good news for consumers in Southeast Asia after competition between ride-hailing apps lessened with Uber's agreement in March to sell its failing business in the region to Singapore-based Grab. Go-Jek, which got a cash injection from investors including Google and Tencent earlier this year, said its overseas...
